Volkswagen Beetle 1977 Seat Retrim
Harry Pitcher • January 28, 2022
This set of Volkswagen Beetle seats have seen quite the transformation. The customer originally contacted us through our d:class autoshop for some blue velour. The material that was purchased was to be used for a retrim, however this changed when the customer collected their material. Once they had seen the standard of our work, they decided to book the retrim in with ourselves.
Below is the before images of the seats. As you can see they were in desperate need of some d:class treatment.
New horse hair pads have been supplied and fitted to the front seat frames to ensure the customer is totally satisfied. As previously mentioned, blue velour has been selected to replace what was and blue vinyl for the borders and piping.

This AC Cobra is another full interior retrim completed as part of a vehicle restoration collaboration with Redline Engineering . This is the second project we have recently carried out in partnership with Neil and his team, and the specification for this one is truly something special. The customer requested a tan Connolly leather, and after working closely with both them and Neil from Redline, we settled on Parkside Caramel nappa leather. It was an incredible choice, the super smooth finish and rich colour work perfectly with the Guardsman Blue metallic paint. We then needed a carpet that complemented the leather equally well, so a biscuit-coloured carpet from Boyriven was selected. New dials and gauges were installed, alongside new seat harnesses.
This Porsche 991 911 Carrera 4S belongs to another customer who has recently seen the influx of Porsches across our socials and blog. They have also requested the very sought-after houndstooth seat centre retrim. They have selected a black and red houndstooth for their seat centres and door card centres to be retrimmed in. A great choice, that also matches the black of the car and the red of the seat belts and calipers. Whilst we had the car, our customer also opted for a steering wheel retrim. Nothing crazy for this one, just a like-for-like OEM retrim to the same spec. Black nappa leather with black stitching and black racing band.
This Ferrari 488 GTB came to d:class for a steering wheel retrim, despite only showing light signs of wear. Having recently changed hands, the new owner wanted the car to feel completely their own. Starting with the one part you touch every time you drive. A fresh wheel makes all the difference, complemented by the installation of new steering wheel buttons to complete that factory-fresh finish.
